Trilogy on Stilts

The young theatre company, Geisslers Hofcomoedianten from Czech Republic, composed of professional actors from various theatres in Prague, presents an original performance of Baroque street theatre. Trilogy on Stilts is a piece made up of three short street theatre performances on stilts which each represent a culture from the European Baroque era – German, Italian and French. The performances are all bilingual and variable among each other. The goal of the piece is to explore the influence of these languages and national cultures on the arts in Bohemia during the Baroque era. The company applies elements of street theatre, classic wooden stilts, jumping stilts and live music to tell timeless stories and excavate the connections between these cultures during the Baroque era.
